The act of changing your email address is simple.
However, you can save yourself a lot of headaches by doing
some planning before you begin. Just as with changing your home address, one of
the main challenges with changing your email address is making sure that you do
not loose any important contacts.
Another challenge to is avoiding bringing your old spam
contacts with you.
A third challenge is to find an email address that fits your
needs.

Gather your contacts into a single list.
Remember, that you probably have a lot more contacts than
just the ones currently set up on your "favorite contacts" list on
your email account.
Spend some time going through you email history and identify
older contacts that you may not have used in a while, but which you do not want
to loose.
Think about your needs before setting up a new email
account.
Think about the kinds of attachments you like to send? Do
you need higher capacity? Also think about what kind of interface your prefer.
Some prefer a simple, bare-bones interface, while others
prefer something more elaborate.
Ask yourself if the address itself is important to you.
Some people are quite picky about this.
Ask yourself what you dislike about your current service.
This will help you to better pinpoint what you desire from
your new service.
Check out your
options.
There are a lot of free web-based email services out there.
These are great for some purposes, but if you need really
high capacity, or require greater security, then you might want to look for a
different type of service that you will need to pay for.
Read the privacy policy carefully of any email service you
are considering.
Make sure you are not making any commitments you are
uncomfortable with.
Test your new address.
Once you set up you new address, have a few close friend
email you regularly for a few days to make sure it is really what you want before
informing all you contacts.
Send out a single mass-mailing to all your contacts, once
you have established your new address, and tested it.
Be careful to weed out all the spammers before you do this.
Keep your old email address active for a while after
establishing your new address.
How long you need to do this depends upon how much email
traffic you have.
The more traffic, and the more contacts you have, the longer
you should keep your address active.
Generally speaking, your should plan to wait at
least one month before abandoning you old address. In some cases, you may want
to keep checking it for several months.
